I know the article is brief but the lead looks a little short to me still.
What's an "interchange station"?
"in the planning area" what's a planning area?
"Exit B of Newton MRT station." no full stop required.
I would lose one of the images, they're not exactly unique to this station - right now the references are crushed up on my screen because of the image under the infobox.
"US$20.16 " one decimal place for conversions.
"Bus, Taxi" taxi
"Depth 12 metres (39 ft) (North South line platforms)" what about the Downtown line?
"Yes (External)" external
Parking is not mentioned in the article.
"jet grouting" what's that?
"scan through bags" no need for "through"
"validate our preparedness " who is "our"?
"caused the fire. The fire was" repetitive.
Link Singapore Civil Defence Force
"7 & 8" and.
How frequently do trains come through?
"and this station" just "and Newton" would be fine.
"gives the station a distinct character" according to whom?
"station design was simple" surely "is"?
"stands out greatly" according to whom?
"curve lines" curved?
"creating an organic landscape" sounds like a tourist brochure.
Ref 31, italics for Straits Times.
Ref 25 and 36 need en-dashes, not hyphens.

That's it, on hold for now. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 13:36, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Addressed most of the issues above. "Planning area" refers more to a constituent district in Singapore, but I find it irrelevant so I removed it. Also cited for parking, but I don't see how it can be in the body (too trivial to be in there). Also worked on the station design.--ZKang123 (talk) 00:52, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I made a few little tweaks, but passing now. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 09:08, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
